Bear in mind that the only way Apple sells the OS is as an upgrade to an existing MacOS - so even if you were somehow to get this working, it's not inconceivable that Apple could release an update that would break the installation - just as they did with the people who'd hacked the iPhone to work on a non-AT&T network in the US. What you'd be doing after all, is a clear violation of the license agreement.

In other words, it's certainly not something you want to rely on having work in the long term.

I've not done it, but heard and read of others doing it to the M1330 will good results (though the legality is quiestionable).

shillo · Answer

yes legality is always questionable... if only apple released their OS to pc i will buy it over windows.... their OS is so much cheaper than Vista... i used to buy my operating systems as a way to support the programmers but vista is just too expensive thus switching to ubuntu now. oh well i will try out MAC OS for a bit just because i have always been curious about their OS.

Tried dual boot of Vista & Ubuntu......Vista & Mac OS Leopard ver 10xx......   But my philosophy is 1 OS on 1 machine.......or I use VMware.........Vista, XP, Mac  one each on 3 of my machines.

I installed Leopard on my 1420. The installation was very smooth. The laptop boots and works farters than vista. BlueTooth was recognized almost instantly.

What problems I found on my inspiron 1420..?
The Wireless NIC, Ethernet Port and Audio are not working because I need drivers..!!!

Once I obtain the drivers I need, hasta la vista baby..

Here is the list of the drives I looking for:
Intel 4965AGN -Wireless
Sigmatel 9228 - Audio

If anybody has any info about the drivers, please let know..

i didn't know you can use original MacOS on a pc without some sort of hack... so you bought the MacOS and it installed on a pc normally without adding any hacks or other 3rd party softwares on it?

eSolutions · Answer

Yes.........No hacks.....No 3rd party.
